If you feel like you've been seeing more Toyota bZ4Xs on the road lately, it's because there are many more to see. Sales of Toyota's sole electric crossover offering in the U.S. exploded on the back of aggressive new lease deals in April and May, as did sales of Toyota's various hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. According to the automaker's internal sales data, U.S. bZ4X monthly sales were up a staggering 545% year-over-year in April.
That would mean a monthly payment on a Toyota that uses no gasoline for less money than your average decent dinner out for two in New York City, including drinks. Plus, bZ4X lease deals still seem competitive in June. One deal on Toyota's website indicates they can be had for $159 a month for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing. Considering the potential gas savings involved, it's probably one of the more cost-effective new car ownership prospects.
